Seishi Mukai to Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property , 16 December 1946

Copy for Mr. Shears
Taber, Alta. December 16, 1946
Dear Sir:
This is to let you know that I have received your cheque for the enforced sale of my property left in your care for the duration. It was understood that when I turned my property over to you it was in good faith of it being kept for me till the war was over. But as I see that you have sold it I hereby wish to say that the amount received is not the true value of my property. As the cost of everything is up I think that the price of my property should be assessed accordingly too.
I hereby say that the price should be more and I wish to receive the true amount of my investment and I will not be satisfied until this is received.
Hope to hear from you on this case and hoping that you will revise my assessment of property and pay accordingly to the present value.
Thanking you for your troubles, I remain, Yours truly,

Terminology

Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
